Q:
If 5/6 Liter weighs 9/10 kilograms, how much will 1 Liter of paint weigh?
0.9kg / 5 = 0.18
0.18 * 6 = 1.08
1 Liter of paint will weigh 1.08 kilograms.
Is this correct?
Thank you.
Yes, it's correct.
Thank you, Ms. Sue.
You're welcome, Kev.
To determine the weight of 1 liter of paint, you can follow the given information and use ratio and proportion.
Given:
- 5/6 liter weighs 9/10 kilograms
We need to find:
- Weight of 1 liter of paint
To solve this, follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the weight of one unit of volume:
Divide the weight (9/10 kilograms) by the volume (5/6 liter).
(9/10) / (5/6) = (9/10) * (6/5) = 54/50 = 27/25
Step 2: Find the weight of 1 liter of paint:
Multiply the weight of one unit of volume by the reciprocal of the volume (1 liter is the reciprocal of 5/6 liter).
(27/25) * (1/ (5/6)) = (27/25) * (6/5) = 162/125 = 1.296
Therefore, 1 liter of paint will weigh approximately 1.296 kilograms.
So based on this calculation, the weight would be approximately 1.296 kilograms, not 1.08 kilograms as you mentioned.
